Treatment typically involves regular psychotherapy sessions focused on reflective dialogue, existential exploration and integration work for those who have had psychedelic experiences. The practitioner emphasises sensitivity, compassion and emotional intelligence, and frames therapy as a collaborative exploration rather than directive advice-giving.
